Re: Ah the halcyon days of three models in a range. Cars could do with returning to that too.

Looking through the barn for a tool I found in our life in boxes, these Fat City promo postcards. I remember standing in the local bike shop to the factory in 1995 wondering how many of the NOS framesets being sold off as 'older designs' to make way for new FSRs coming out I could cram in my...

I had to google translate that. But thanks. :D

Not a retro one (although there have been), but here are some words I wrote for a British magazine about building my dream road bike and some lovely photographs my dear friend Ian made of me (ahem), modelling on it! Thanks for looking.

I know i posted a few photographs up a while ago from Lightweight, but here's my story on the incredible uber light German carbon scientists. Link here: http://www.augustusfarmer.com/lightweight/ Have a read on me. Thanks for looking.

Thought this might be of some interest to a few. Another barmy road trip I made with a bike (someone else's) and a camera (mine) from Arizona to Colorado to California and back home. Riding in genuine cowboy country. Crikey. Story here: http://www.augustusfarmer.com/to-tucson/ Thanks for...

Re: Re: Crickey, wait til i put up my AX Lightness story... that was handmade and a half!

Re: Re: Haha. They were properly hand made processes too. That always impresses me. I mean obvs they were machined etc but humans did every process and then rode the stuff home at closing time. Impressive. As were AX Lightness and Lightweight.

I know I previously uploaded a few photographs of my barmy road trip from Tune Components in the Black forest to AX Lightness in Nuremberg, but I've uploaded the story that I wrote on the German anodised component masters for an American magazine, to my website, so here's a handful more and a...

Re: and a few more...

Here are a few photographs I made behind the scenes at the 2016 Giro for Campagnolo. As usual, I am sorry it's not a retro race. But old as I am, I'm not that old to have worked them. A lovely little adventure across the north of Italy with the Campag equipped teams, Movistar, Lotto Soudal...
